Meh. No buttons or ergonomical shape, just boring oblongs which are uncomfortable to hold. Not interested, no matter how good the colors are.

(I had thought that the release in Spanish was just a little early and wouldn't be withdrawn, which is why I posted as I did.) |

Agreed. I am truly sorry that Amazon has abandoned buttons. The fact that sideloaded content will sync between devices is a strong plus for Amazon, but without page turn buttons, I will not be buying.

And....
The plot thickens. Colorsoft supports EPUBs! This is a departure for Amazon, which has always shied away from that format. (Supported formats: Kindle Format 8 (AZW3), Kindle (AZW), TXT, PDF, unprotected MOBI, PRC natively; PDF, DOCX, DOC, HTML, EPUB, TXT, RTF, JPEG, GIF, PNG, BMP through conversion; Audible audio format (AAX).) |

"Amazon’s 7” colour display technology with built-in front light, 300 ppi B&W, 150 ppi colour, optimised font technology, 16-level greyscale."
This sounds like Kaleido. |

Ah yes indeed, that’s true. If it’s the case then the Colorsoft will have some serious competition from Kobo if Amazon maintains this price point.
